Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

Because Gu Qing's half-hearted and half-ambiguous words, the headlines continue to belong to him and Leonardo.

Oh, and you have to count Tony's.

Because the reporters who were about to be driven mad by Gu Qing's "extraterrestrial" discussion of art and life resolutely gave up the desire to continue to investigate further, God knows what answers they will be caught off guard next.So the reporters quickly turned to ET Films' plan to enter the superhero movie market, which is also the focus of attention of the public, especially Hollywood.

Gu Qing now knows why Tony mentioned Batman at the party, thanks to the "Batman" comic, but it doesn't fit the reporters' questions, does it?After all, Tony was soaked in alcohol at the time, and he didn't remember what he said. Considering that the reporters asked about why Tony was interested in the superhero film market, and the overall attitude of ET Films.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qing chose...to tell the truth: "Actually, after reading your reports about his interest in Batman and the superhero movie market, Tony told me that this is possible. Thinking about it this way, The causality is a little more complicated."

After the reporters thought about it, they were a little confused. They really wanted to show their innocence: Blame them?

But after thinking about it, if they really have to go back to the source, the reason why they reported that Tony is interested in the superheroes of DC Comics is not only the revelations of insiders, but also the ambiguity of the executives of the eight major Hollywood studios. The excuse is that they think too much, okay?

So, the causal relationship here is really quite complicated.

It would be fucked to come to such a conclusion, and the reporters rejected it in their hearts.

I can no longer find such an heir to the EX industry who is the subject of such a cooperative interview. One of the co-founders of ET Films said without hesitation: "To be honest, not only Tony is interested in the superhero movie market, but in our ET Films After the company has investigated the film market, I also think this will be a good project, and I think ET Films will launch a superhero movie project in the near future."

ha?

These remarks sound logically no problem at all, but when you look deeper, the problem becomes bigger.If it wasn't not long ago, I just took a comprehensive inventory of today's superhero movie market, and it is backed by Time Warner's strong capital, because DC Comics is its subsidiary, and Warner Bros., who doesn't have to worry too much about copyright issues, is making superhero movies in comics. After the movie was uploaded, they planned not to touch the manga project for a few years. Knowing how sluggish the superhero film market is, they almost believed the superhero film market revealed in the words before them. It's already spring with a dead tree.

What about the sluggish market for promised superhero movies?

The agreed Hollywood film giants are shying away from superhero movies?

"Eric—"

The reporters realized that they had a bunch of questions to ask, but unfortunately, the spokesperson of EX Industry, who had been on the background board before, immediately blocked the reporters with the security department, "Mr. Xavier still has a meeting to attend , That’s all for today’s interview.”

Gu Qing nodded slightly, and left with a smile. With his slender figure wrapped in a three-piece suit, and the magnificent EX Industry headquarters in front of him, the back view looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

However, for journalists, this is truly caught off guard.

#My pants are off, you just let me see this#

In any case, the headlines continued to dominate, and by the way, the speculation of "whether the superhero movie market is muddled or 'fake death'" was raised.It can be seen from this that in the film industry, Gu Qing can muddy the "spring water" more than Tony.This is not only because Gu Qing has an actor in his job or sideline, but also because none of the movies he has handled has been a failure. Among them, "Titanic" is the most referenced: During the preparation of Nickelodeon, "Future Water World" produced by Universal Company was still the highest-invested film in history at that time. However, in the end, "Future Water World" only returned 1.75 million North American box office with an investment of up to 8823 million U.S. dollars. It can be described as a disastrous failure, terrible, since then the leading role of "Future Water World" has disappeared from the film industry, and Universal executives almost went to the rooftop... It can be said that Hollywood at that time was already pale, but it also talked about " The "Titanic" of "Water" has now proved itself.

Could it be that now he "recognizes heroes with discerning eyes" again?

It's a pity that there is an undercurrent in Hollywood, but the instigator has no intention of saying anything further, and holding back can kill people half to death.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to enter December, and the uncomfortable feeling of scratching my heart and lungs was relieved to a large extent.This is not to say that Gu Qing said something, but because for Hollywood, entering December means the harvest season, and the awards season is coming.

People in the industry have already predicted that this year will be quite lively. Last year, there were both "Titanic" and "Gattaca". The success of the film has made Hollywood talk about it.

This year, although there is no single movie that can match those two, even the highest-grossing movie of the year, "Heavenly Tribulation", with a total global box office of only 5.53 million U.S. dollars, the award season and "Heavenly Tribulation" are not that big Relationship.

The excitement in the industry is because there is no dominant movie this year, but there are evenly matched movies, such as "Saving Private Ryan" directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. It is currently the North American box office champion ($2.16 million); another example is "The Truman Show", starring Eric Xavier and supported by the Iron Triangle of "Titanic", its box office should not be underestimated. The World of Doors has accumulated a box office of nearly 1.5 million US dollars in North America. Before the end of the screening period, it is very likely to surpass the already undrawn "Saving Private Ryan" and win the North American box office champion in 1998.

And the well-known Weinstein brothers also have a new action this year, "Shakespeare in Love", which tells the love story of Shakespeare, the world-famous British writer, when he was young.The film is scheduled for December, so we knew that the Weinstein brothers were aiming at the 12st Academy Awards in the coming year, just like "The English Patient" the year before.

Of course, apart from these three works, there are other films with good reputations this year. Didn’t you see that the film critics are already busy selecting the top ten films in their minds?In addition to the top ten movies, film critics also began to review this year's hot candidates for acting. In terms of actors, the actor who played the leading role of Truman in "The Truman Show" has a place in the list of the top ten movies. , Eric Xavier, is on the list again like last year.

Many people have speculated that, without the same situation as in the last Oscar, where two films were shortlisted at the same time, "Titanic" was too commercialized, and there was an unspoken rule of not winning the first nomination. How likely is it that Eric Xavier, who is less than 27 years old when the Academy Awards ceremony begins next year, will win the statuette with "The Truman Show", which has improved his acting skills, and will be crowned the youngest in Oscar history actor.

——Speaking of which, it seems that he is not worried that he will not even get nominated.

……

The awards season is like a storm, and in the blink of an eye, the 56th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony of the second year will come.

On December 12, the Golden Globe Awards had announced the nominations.In terms of movies, "The Truman Show" won the Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor (Christopher, the producer of The Truman Show in "The Truman Show") Ed Harris), Best Screenplay, Best Film Score six nominations, tied with "Shakespeare in Love". Five nominations including leading role and best director.

And because "Shakespeare in Love" is classified as music/comedy, the competition relationship with "The Truman Show" is not so direct. In other words, at this Golden Globe Awards, "The Truman Show" and "The Truman Show" Saving Private Ryan is the most positive relationship.

The competition at the Golden Globe Awards is a competition relationship. Under this, like at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, the relationship between the two crews is relatively harmonious.That said, it is not very convincing. After all, it is at the award ceremony, even if there is something wrong behind the scenes, it is hidden under the camera as much as possible.

Leaving aside who this sentence is alluding to, it is this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony. In addition to the crew of "The Truman Show", there is also the crew of "Lord of the Rings" who have a relatively direct relationship with Gu Qing.This is not talking about the "Lord of the Rings" after it was released, but the unformed "Lord of the Rings". The point of explanation is the nominees for this year's film acting awards, such as the nominee for the best actor award for drama, Ian McKellen ("Gods and Beasts"), and Best Actress in a Drama nominee Cate Blanchett ("Elizabeth"), who will star in "The Lord of the Rings" "In the role of Gandalf the gray robe wizard and Galadriel, the elf lord of the Golden Forest.

Considering that director Peter Jackson, casting directors and professional producers are responsible for the casting of the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", Gu Qing only needs to look over the cast, so this is the first time that Gu Qing has met them in person.

It has to be said that after Gu Qing glanced over Cate Blanchett and landed on Ian McLean, Gu Qing felt that this meeting left a deep impression on him.

Very profound.

The author has something to say: Actors: Ian McKellen, Gandalf in "Lord of the Rings", Old Man in "X-Men"...
